Three T's

August 14th

Simple. I get out of bed, eat, and walk to school. But this morning is different. It's the first day of my senior year at City Coast High School. I'm turning a new leaf, and, the place has a great view of the river. I get out of my bed get dressed, and head downstairs to grab a frozen waffle to eat. Since my mom goes to work early, I get myself up and get my own breakfast in the mornings. After I get fully ready I open the door and I'm off to school. As I walk down the street I pass the Banden family's ruined house. It burned down last week. The whole street I live on has been giving them sympathy and Joseph Henderson even started a donation fund for them. He raised around $300 dollars with it. They never got any money. I arrive at my school, and immediately my friends greet me at the front entrance. "Jordan! How've you been?" It's Gary. Along with him are Mckenzie, Reese, James, and Michael. They're just my closest friends. I'm actually quite popular at my school. Very few people knew about what I did the past two years. After a few hours of classes, I head to the cafeteria to see my friends. There's only one other person in the hall. I think I hear them speak. I turn around to look at them. "What was that?" I ask them. It was like they were faintly talking, but not whispering. I see them look up from their  smartphone They look at me like I'm dumb. "What do you mean? I didn't say anything" I turn back around. What did I hear? I think to myself. Just then, I hear Principle Nichols yelling at everyone to stop talking. I get into the cafeteria, and suddenly, loud noise floods into my ears. "Aaahhh..." I collapse to my knees. My eyes shut tight. I put my hands over my ears. It's overwhelming. Everyone looks at me. I hear everyone, but their mouths aren't moving at all. Principle Nichols runs over to me. "Jordan, what's wrong? Jordan!" I I can barely hear him over all these voices. They're all voices that I recognize, but all of those people are just sitting there and watching me, eyes wide, their mouths staying perfectly still. I can finally make out what one of the voices is saying. "I always thought that Vyers was sort of cool, but this is just weird." I look over at Stuart Hanson. It's his voice that I heard say that. What's going on? I must be hearing things, but this, it's... strange. It seems very real. "SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" I yell as loud as I can. Just then, I don't hear it hear them anymore. I open my eyes and my hands fall to my sides. I can't move. I look around. Everyone is staring at me. A few moments pass, and I can suddenly move. I get and bolt as fast as I can, run out the door, and make my way home as fast as I can.
